Can a good coach win in HS without club players?

Would you take the winningest coach in HS soccer with zero club players or would you take a tennis coach with 11 club players? Who gives you the better chance to win?



A better question to prove your original point would be, would you take a good HS soccer coach with 11 club players, or a tennis coach with 11 club players? If you want to show whether one variable (hs coaching) makes a difference, then you have to keep the other variable (# of club players) constant.

Now, if you could guarantee me that we would come up against nothing but teams with no club players at all, then sure, I might be OK with a stacked team with a tennis coach at the helm.

But we both know that ain't gonna happen on the way to state.

I've got good news and bad news...
